The Dogs Get a New Sled | Searching for Snowshoe Hares

[@marycontraire3896]

When I saw “Dog Sled” in the title, I was confused because Beau can barely be convinced to drag the weight of his own body from Point A to Point B, much less anything else. Then I watched and realized what you meant was “Eric and Arielle build a palatial, carpeted chariot so that Beau and Bandit can see the world without exerting themselves or feeling chilly” and that made far more sense.

[@jackiemartin2874]

Lol! So true for these special fur babies!

[@richardhart7652]

Snap I did wonder when I saw the title

[@jokerr2228]

omg so dam cute seeing the dogs looking out the window.....what a ride

[@lindacox8156]

The sled you made for your dogs is absolutely GREAT!!!

[@ChasingTravelAdventure]

Bo is such a sweet old soul!

[@lindakangas1045]

I love to see people who truly love their animals.

[@williamwilson6887]

That’s the happiest Bo’s been on camera in some time. Looking out the big front window, going for a sled ride, that tail just couldn’t stop wagging. Great idea guys looking out for your fur babies. Stay safe.

[@cristinalampitoc1646]

You two are kindhearted. You thought of what is good for your dogs. You treat your dogs like human beings💕

[@lexistapleton687]

Not just sled for dogs, if one of u have an injury it could help with transport. I enjoy watching your adventure. Both of you have great ideas. Weather it’s gardening, fishing, raising chickens, food storage and much more! 😃

[@bonnied3550]

Or if one just wants to get a rest from the elements, you can take turns riding with your fury family-:) I’m sure they won’t mind😃👍🏼❤️

[@jasongrgr]

When you are walking in to set your snares , keep your feet close together and take baby steps. It creates a funnel for the animals to walk on. Animals in the wild will always take the path of least resistance , especially in the snow. Great job.

[@jamescarid3448]

Just throw in a blanket and the dogs are real cozy; and room for Arielle too. Cheers.

[@donbraden8533]

That's so nice that you 2 take care of your 4 legged babies now they don't feel left out they seemed to be enjoying themselves and comfortable 😎👍👍

[@terrytt2932]

I LOVE that you did this for your babies!!! thank you!

[@kimeverhart6253]

I wish all puppies could be so loved...♥️

[@davidkilbourne5422]

That was so cool! Them dogs need extra , they are 10 years! That build was thinking of your dogs comfort. Great Video~

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Interesting that one dog likes to see where it's headed and the other where it's been. Love it!

[@ncalgal4699]

For super-cold days, add a roll-down vinyl or canvas door that ties or snaps shut. Looks like the dogs really like it, great idea!

[@dawnmancell9219]

I've been watching ur program for a few years now. Keep up the good work and be blessed and remember you have the whole world in your hands

[@dianaobrien2589]

Your such good parents..I'm sure your dog's will love their new sled... Always thinking of your animals comfort! Love your videos.

[@janetted8885]

You could put a cargo net or canvas curtain on the back so the other dog will look out the front window . Adorable

[@Tinkergrumpybuns]

Great idea. Toss blankets in for them!

[@glorialange6446]

I immediately thought the same thing.

[@michaelcunningham4587]

Bo and Bandit have nicer beds and lives than I do... I also loved Bos face at the end "yah this is a pretty nice view, and we get to hang out with mom in our sled"

[@ericlewis77]

Linx population grows as the rabbit's population dwindle.... Then back again. Big 💖 for you folks and the pooches. Thanks for sharing.

[@pynaetlborelse1708]

I just looked up the track. It appears to be an elephant.

[@susanhighfield8284]

Lolol

[@PatrickWagz]

*woolly mammoth

[@michaelvasquez5761]

Lol

[@michelewarren5311]

Its totally a sasquatch print! You didn't see Bigfoot move thru the video?!

[@flirtnic]

That dog sled is the cutest thing ever. You two are such good dog parents.

[@susannegalligan8600]

That dog sled is wonderful! Little Beau is loving it! Bandit likes it too. Perfect.

[@kpattenvan]

For Christmas, id like a video every other day for like a week!!!! Hahaha. (I wanted to say everyday). Just love your videos. Thanks again!

[@sherry2836]

What a great idea! Bo was so happy as the tail wagging proved. Very cool you guys.

[@reza2251]

Making sure your old dogs are warm and comfy? You guys rock 👍🏻👍🏻

[@carolynbotting8658]

Omg the dogs look adorable in their caboose, so nice that you went to the work to enable them to enjoy winter outings in comfort!! Good job!

[@crazyredheadart713]

y'all are such great dog parents....wow..just wow. love this

[@mariaslibeck9984]

That dog sled is perfect for their personalities: Bo is content to watch out the front (so cute) and Bandit ready to jump out the back and onto the trail!!

[@lorisanford8515]

pretty clever dog house 😊

[@rdwise4513]

I love the way you dote on your furry family members and find ways to include them on your adventures. 👍👍👍❤💯

[@maureenavilez5474]

Ok Now , that thing needs some christmas Lights! lol I love it! I love the boys!

[@lorriehil4212]

Now that’s the way all doggies should be treat. Love it!!!

[@TinyHouseLife]

haha thats awesome guys! Then Mom hops in the back too, love you guys!

[@cherylcasio9401]

Arielle drives bolts the same way she stuns fish. Love it!

[@shishkebab5306]

Its so great how you two love your dogs so much, I bet they end up with some blankets in there as well.

[@hillarys.k8518]

Just wait till the dogs that pull the sleds see this rig . There's gonna be mutiny in the sled dog world. Great job !

[@joharmon2148]

Your dogs are riding is style now and no wind in their faces.

[@mayokimmer]

That sled is wonderful!! You both are such great parents to Beau and Bandit.

[@kayphillips4950]

You two are the hardest working people I know. Your work ethic is outstanding. Thank you so much for all the effort that you make to entertain and educate us!

[@chrisdawson6380]

Dog sled- more like dogmobile- love it. You 2 are as daft as me & mine. 👍-Says alot about a person on how they treat their dog. Love me-love my dog 👍 5🎆

[@ChevieBabynMamaBritt]

Most definitely my Babygirl is my everything she’s the queen of this palace lol I come second 🙄❤️😂

[@amyotto8424]

Some sort of door on the back to keep the dogs in and protected. Also good for keeping equipment from bouncing out on big bumps.

[@leahness3588]

Super cool you can take your kids for a ride. BO was so happy.😁👍

[@thedubs4388]

I love seeing spoiled doggos

[@cindyblair1283]

Your dogs have it made!! How awesome you both are ! I can’t say enough awesome things about you both, cause you are just very Grateful young people and work so extremely hard at all things you both do! ❤

[@micheltibon8872]

Awesome dog owners. Lucky dogs.

[@nancymacmillan3537]

So amazing! So awesome you are making sure your kiddos don't miss out.

[@watermanone7567]

Nice job; If you melt the holes slightly in the plastic windshield with a heat gun or small tourch after you drill the holes, it will help the plastic from splitting. Great video, thanks.

[@spncerc]

My mind is blown that Bo and Bandit are the same age

[@RatdogDRB]

I'd say those are lynx tracks, their favorite food is rabbit. Love the dog sled project. Some food for thought I'd suggest: 1. Acrylic (as you found out) is brittle and breaks into sharp shards. If you can find polycarbonate, much better choice. A mishap could result in serious cuts to the dogs. 2. Reflectix used as a layer between tub/pad will keep heat in/cold out more efficiently. Also, Reflectix and that foil tape to add an internal layer, with some foam between the aluminum framework. And a roll-up door at the back of carpet/Reflectix/tarp to further retain heat, block the wind, discourage them from jumping out during travel. 3. Instead of the strips of foam, strips of plywood. Add Teflon strips on the outside of the tub, counter-sunk screws intoTeflon and biting into the plywood, silicone to seal the penetrations. A little extra rigidity, and less wear/tear on the plastic tub. Teflon runners can be replaced. Also makes for a fine canine camping condo, which is portable. Rock on you two, love how you work together so well. Great content too.

[@Countrygirl2010]

Y’all..... that was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen anyone make for their dogs. Get a patent on that thing. Great job. 🤗🐕‍🦺🦮

[@jcbaily5559]

Bo and Bandit look quite happy with their new sled!

[@matthewfleischhacker6971]

Yep the dogs seem to agree!!

[@lindabryant137]

Nice dog sled I just love how u guys take such good care of the dogs and they r a big part of ur family...Have fun on ur trip and plz be safe!!!!

[@Love_Help]

She is so lucky to have you and you are so lucky to have her too))

[@omfug7148]

He is totally the lucky one, millions of men would give their eye teeth to find a gal like Ariel!

[@toyajackson556]

@@omfug7148 She is lucky too, to have a partner that is happy working as a team, and feels complete with you as their main confidant, partner, friend. I would put in 12 hours days to build something with a partner who wants the same things as I do ( & I'm old & rickety). And he is quite attractive, especially with his receding hairline. So there. Way to go Ariel!

[@patriciamontague6035]

That is a great and caring dog owners get you're see people doing same😊

[@sylviafoust9545]

Linx, cool. Now I know what a Linx print looks like. I learn so much from watching you all.

[@deborahpelletier4573]

Cool. Even has lights. They love it

[@wayneschnare4019]

Cat track !!! awesome sled !!!!!! The Dogs have it made !!!

[@cedarwoman2]

Love it and they will also once they get used to it. Now trying to patiently wait for the next video.

[@lewih7135]

Great video as always! Oooh honey...throw a couple of blankets up in there and put a netting on the back....good times! Those dogs would never want to walk again! Love your videos!! Peace and blessings....

[@bethreiners5568]

That’s awesome! I’m glad your dogs figured it out and have learned to stay in it.

[@elizabethleedy4386]

Creative fun for the dogs! Shows the love you have for them, as you said they are both old in years and can’t take the cold, but still want to be with both of you. Plus, if you get stranded, at least you have some shelter!

[@ResourcefulLivingHomestead]

That is so cool for the dogs to stay warmer!

[@JRR0013]

Great video! I love that you've upgraded the sled for the pups. They want to go, too! You guys are great pup parents!

[@yaldoshelelohim]

Beau is loving it! Thanks for sharing. God bless

[@MrTacklebury]

Your lynx is competing with you and eating them up... Looks like it could be a momma hauler too. ;) Maybe a flap door at the rear would be good once they got in, so it would keep wind down.

[@lindanicholas1705]

They were settling down in the sled. I saw a wagging tail, sure it was slow but there....lol.....good it carried three looks good..🐾👣🌲

[@duanechadwick331]

Thank goodness a new video. A tiny amount of sanity in a very chaotic world Alaska the last frontier lol. Thanks for the video I will enjoy it greatly I am sure. 🤓

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

Great sled for the dogs well done. So glad they will be warm now.

[@nancyhaywood6486]

you guys are so clever. i know those dogs love you

[@Kingsmugi]

Good evening Alaska! From here in East Africa, 20:25

[@bane8305]

Good even brother from Los Angeles :D inshallah

[@tanyanosek1938]

I love Bo's tail wag patterns!

[@m.t.9899]

Y'all treat your dogs better than my wife treats me.

[@lakepostell6912]

Learn 2 "wag" your tail.

[@susieathome9621]

That's sad

[@deeplyyoung]

😂 😂 Love you see you too again... And really liked the caring about your Pet's... I can understand as I have a German Shepherd (GSD)and he is just 19 months old now but we can't even think to leave him apart from us for few hours.. He is like our family member... Love you guys...

[@DeanJohnson67]

that gives new meaning to "dog sled team"! ;) some mighty jealous dogs out there I'll bet!

[@annwithaplan9766]

Good job on the dog sled. When I saw the title, I was glad to see they would get one, knowing they were getting up there in age.

[@pauline-bc-com-missp]

So Awesome for the doggies ..... What a great idea

[@caroldeaton619]

I had a marathon of watching a bunch of your videos for a couple hours. I hit the thumbs up I didn't comment on all of them. Very interesting they are from the canning the food videos to making the dog sled and doing laundry. If my husband will come back from heaven I would love to visit Alaska. Take care God bless

[@sequoiawarner6756]

Happy dogs! Love that you accommodate their needs as they age!

[@angielester26]

That sled is awesome... you guys are the coolest

[@brittinrobinson5730]

I love this dog sled idea!!! Thanks so much for sharing about it. I hope it holds up really well

[@niebenlungen2849]

Hello, dog sledding is a great idea. And they seem to like it just as much.

[@gwenmoody8323]

Love the sled for the fur babies. Hugs from Oklahoma

[@electrospaghetti4483]

I wanna get in the sled and ride.. looks fun!

[@Adventures_of_lifeX]

Looks like a lynx, bobcat tracks look the same. They partially step in their front paw print with their hind paw which creates that elongated looking print. Very cool!!

[@honthirty_]

Dogs are good sports & up for anything. Thx

[@twistedfrannie9311]

Definitely lynx....here kitty, kitty, lol. Beau is loving the sled ❤❤❤

[@gillkaramani5545]

I just love watching your life up in Alaska..... you are always so busy.... and doing such amazing and interesting things..... good luck and keep safe best wishes from Athens Greece

[@bobgunner3086]

That sled is a winner! Very neat!

[@arcticshuskyadventures1788]

I love how much effort you put into your dogs!! You can totally tell they are family!! 👍 great video all around!

[@jessicamermaid2438]

I love the sled! Bo looks to be feeling his age these days. I also love the Alaskan way, "necessity is the mother of invention."

[@conniepender4719]

Looks like the dogs are enjoying their new sled😀

[@backpackerstories3941]

Bow was happy he continously wagging his tail, and really appreciate the way you take care of your dogs. Amazing video always love it 🙌😇

[@AlmostHomestead]

That Dog Sled is really cool. Nice job. Made me smile seeing them inside taking a ride.

[@jasoninrikes1925]

Why I didn’t think that..wow.. thanks again,, brill idea 👍🏻

[@desertdawg3409]

If I could make a suggestion... a stiffener strip under lip inside the tub where the top attaches to the tub and bolt top in sandwich... tubing, tub rail and stiffener strip on bottom sandwich... All stress as it is now will be in just the 6 bolts to plastic where bolts are and nothing but plastic underneath where nut and washer to keep it from pulling thru plastic from vibration. A strip running from front to back of tub under the lip will spread the stress along length of the tub and top and not just points where nuts are... No dissing design, GREAT idea! Just a suggestion to strengthen contact area.

[@baseddept.supervisor2417]

Sweet little project! Thanks for bringing us along for the snare trip too. I envy your entire lifestyle up there, especially with all this wild crap going on down here in the lower 48🙄.

[@PaullaWells]

The dog sled is awesome! I can tell the dogs really liked it too. Great job!
